It's called zoning. google it frenchie

There are probably over 10,000 of those identical half mile long strips in America. Feels fucking good man. You Canacucks MIGHT have 1 or 200. Rest is barren wasteland.

I doubt towns in Canada look any different

>esso
Nice try, leaf.

>commercial zone with thriving businesses lined up for the consumer to choose from
>wide road passing straight through to accommodate heavy traffic
What's the issue here?

Zoning and land-use regulation have destroyed America.
>parking minimums
>height limits
>use-based zoning
>setback requirements
>density limits
>single-use financing
What do?

It's very dangerous and incredibly expensive to build this infrastructure, with low returns in tax take and economic activity, and environmentally harmful side-effects.

>Money Mart

That's Canada you fucking dumbass.

Judging by the red license plates, Alberta.

>tfw we're catching up to the great Junaiten.

if this were Canada every building were be a Tim Hortons or have Chinese lettering on it

so no issue since that's just your opinion

What kind of fucking architecture do expect out of a denny's and burgerking? Should they resemble the fucking sistine chapel?

...

>Have to drive to do anything: Drive to eat, drive to meet friends, drive to buy groceries, drive to take a piss in your house.
>All the houses look the same and commonly of lower quality than European ones
>Suburbs so devoid of life you can drive for hours and not see a single person outside
>All buildings are new or built in the last 50 years. This is fun at first but gets tiring fast. General lack of comfy architecture, medieval churches, castles, monuments.
>No packed Paris-style boulevards where you can sip coffee and watch life unfold
>Public transport and cycling options are either non-existent or shit, save for NYC.
>Natural disasters are commonplace

The only redeeming quality about it is the open minded population and diverse landscape. I won't even get into meme arguments like race exploits, fat people, bad government, religious lunatics and healthcare.

Found it, it's Cranbrook BC (very close to the Alberta border)

Who said there had to be a denny's and a burger king there in the first place?

That street could've instead of being a polluting monstrosity killing the local environment in that time, it could have been a 2 lane tree-lined avenue, with nice restraunts and mom and pop stores.

>in that time

in that town*

> buildings built in the last 50 years
:^)

Wtf I hate advanced infrastructure now

There was a time when Americans built cultural or artistic or fanciful buildings, but now everything is built for cost efficiency, "environmental impact", profitability and crass commercialism.

your Cultural Edifices are corporate headquarters, amusement parks, hotels, casinos, stadiums and shopping malls. All monuments to our obsession with the satan (money, status and hedonism).

Anyone wanting to build the Gaudi, Big Ben, Eiffel Tower or Hermitage today would be ridiculed out of the construction business and sued for triggering environmentalists.

ahh not a rapeugee in sight. fuck europe

>a flat thing with a light.
>hasn't changed or modernized since it was invented since the government holds a monopoly on it.

Oh I see, the problem is you actually watch TED talks unironically.

what? It's a highway town. They just popped up along the US interstate system

HAHAHAHA!!! I'm guessing you aren't filipino or a newfie.

>letting the government tell you what you can do with your land

> BC license plates
Nice try leaf

Wow don't hurt yourself rabbi

hobbitz an sheet.

you should had stuck with the original architecture of your cities and towns in the 18&19th century. Cars ruined it. Anyone who says they haven't is delusional or some free market asshole. It ruins the beauty and landscape. There is nothing attractive about giant ass highways, a shit ton of cars and noise, spread out buildings (and a lot look like shit), and fucking billboards and tall signs/power lines everywhere.

hahahaha environmentally harmful

look buddy, we keep are national parks nice and clean, we take care of shit for the most part, the huge swaths of empty fields? We turn those into our fucking burger playgrounds.

>Who said there had to be a denny's and a burger king there in the first place?

No one said they had to, it's there because of the free market. If no one wanted those services they wouldn't exist.

That's your 'country' leaf.

Oh cool, so raise our taxes to pay for a huge road project that will never get finished and line the streets with stores filled with shit nobody wants or needs, hence why everybody shops at the walmart just off of the highway in the first place

In the town that I grew up in we tried the exact same thing you're reccommending, and now we have a narrow 2 way street with some tiny trees and I shit you not, 8 antique stores, an insurance adjustor and 3 parks that nobody ever uses

Keep your romanticized bullshit to yourself, the world runs on money, not whole foods

>a jew
Everything here checks out

Good goy.

You'd be quite correct sir

in what universe is Canada not just more of America?

Not an argument

Meh, here, it's packed to the rafters, and parking is hard to find. Life is really fast paced.

I wouldn't really mind.

Anyways, I live in a high pop density city state, AMA

Meh, it's almost the same here. Although commute time is shorter, but public transport is just as packed.

Only Americans would think this shit is cool

Our cities are ugly as fuck unless you go to a resort town or something.

>muh endless eye sore shopping strip after shopping strip is a good thing

Good goys, give all your shekels to the Jewish corporations.

>console needs to download the daily 3GB update, it's gonna take 19 hours

stupid fucking xbox reeee

Strip shopping is actually stupid. Y'all should build big malls like we do here.

Looks comfy

they don't OP is a confirmed faggot.

America is just a shitty version of Australia with niggers and mexicans.

>Implying some shitskin from a 3rd world shithole knows anything about anything besides how to take a shit in the street as quickly as possible

>Designated buying stuff zone
>Designated feeding zone
>designated living quarters
>Designated recreation zone

Sounds like the jews and hte government think they are cattle

Jeezuz - Look at the Esso sign. This is in Canada. OP Btfo'd himself.

why did you move there?

>lined up for the consumer to choose from

Yes goy, you're not a white man or part of your nation, you are a global consumer making really smart and important decisions like choosing coke over pepsi. That will be 99 shekels please.

> Argentina - designated losing zone

What's life like in Israel/IDF ?

>Designated interracial breeding zone
>Designated being a nigger zone

sounds much nicer

Your people are to blame for this. Very nice way to repay the Americans from saving you from the oven.

To be fair, the towns in the eastern part of Canada (up to, say, Ontario) are more traditional, while the more western ones are indistinguishable from America

>Argentina

Um no we are not an african/western european country

But you have so much real choice, user, you can just go work somewhere else and
choose other products like a smart consumer.

oh Mohammad!

used to be a very rural country with few cars and no strip malls, but Americanized over the last decade. now we have traffic, smog, construction and shitty architecture

service workers are rude, lazy and just plain shitty here. they also take 3 hours off during the day for siesta (are we spain nao?)

by the look of the truck he is probably handicapped

We're basically chinese, weaker you

You're missing my point.

My point is that government subsidised highways that lead to massive sprawl and a hunger for convenience and the destruction of national identidy.

Zoning regulations usually grant McDonald's and Denny's much easier than mom and pop stores.

Not like anything but gas stations and pawn shops would work on that street, since it is too large to be walkable.

This is not free market.

All dodge drivers are fucking morons. Bonus points if they have a dually with a welding machine in the back

Sure wish mods would ban canadians and their piss weak bait threads

>monster

kek.

>zoning
most retarded thing ever heard and burgersharts still call themselfs "free market"

poland has like 2 malls

>they also take 3 hours off during the day for siesta

למה אתה ממציא שטויות לקמבודי הזה?

That's singapore, not poland, Peru.

Poland has tons of malls.

The jews in charge wants to control even the chosen people.

Hey, man - I drive a caravan.

shut up iceland

this is what every mid-sized town looks like around where i live

this is where I live

american cities are an embarrassment

...

This is a lie you manipulating jew. Indians don't need laxatives for sure. I caught you

Chicago is the best

>>tfw we're catching up to the great Junaiten.
What do you mean by this? Not even Oslo comes clos to a minor US city traffic wise

>Keep your romanticized bullshit to yourself, the world runs on money, not whole foods
THIS Everyone shops at malls because that what they want to do. Especially here in the north were the weather is shitty. If you want retain some business in an old town center. You will need to put a glass dome over it and provide free parkinh. It's called progress

Okay look, merchant, we don't live on a bacon strip of land that you can jog across in a half an hour, okay? We inhabit a continent from sea to shining sea like a real nation does.

There is plenty of landscape to enjoy, you just drive a mile passed the highway town and everything you see is open landscape.

I realize for you this would be precious real estate that you would need to surround with soldiers and fill with rock-resistant sideburns, but for us it's just a stop to fill up on gas and shit food on the way to where we are actually going, hundreds of miles away.

I knew I recognized that picture

comfy

Good goy.
Remember to provide a mosque for the refugees.
It is called progress!

>religious lunatics
Damn, I guess Israeli Jews really are dumber.
